00:00Oh yeah, it's, there's not a lot, you know, that Kingy Coop sings, you know, very simple,
00:09but he works so hard at his game, you know, like, you know, to play 200 games at an NRL
00:18level,
00:19in the position he plays and the way he plays is quite remarkable in the time he's done it.
00:23He's hardly missed any games, you know, so, you know, and that's just not, you know, being lucky,
00:32it's a lot of hard work and, you know, the one thing that really struck me about him, you know,
00:37even when he first came here and how much time and effort he was, you know,
00:43he was willing to put into his preparation for games and his preparation for training and, you know,
00:49he just always done the little things and was always consistent at doing that, you know,
00:54it was never, you know, it didn't matter how long or probably how boring it got,
00:59he just made sure he'd done what he had to do or what he thought he had to do.
01:03Obviously losing World Warwick, but getting Moses and Leo back and giving Lungie another opportunity on the win.
01:09Yeah, well, we just, again, run out of outside backs, to be quite honest.
01:15So, you know, Moses has come back in, he hasn't played for a bit, but, you know,
01:20it's unbelievable, you know, to lose Will and X, you know, probably two of the best swingers in the competition,
01:27but, you know, with the same injury, but how, you know, how, I suppose,
01:37that injury, you know, hardly ever gets, you know, done.
01:40And, you know, both of our wingers have torn their Achilles within six weeks of each other.
01:46So, yeah, like I say, it just sort of goes to show, you know,
01:52you could be up, you know, one minute and it doesn't take much to cut you down this game.
01:58So, but like I say, you know, they'll, I think Will's age operation during the week,
02:02so they're in recovery and we don't see them till next year, obviously.
02:06And, but, you know, we're sure Moses will do a good job.
02:09And, you know, Lungie's had a few games now, so we're expected, you know,
02:14he'll stand up and get better as it goes along as well.
02:18What are you expecting from this South Sydney team on Friday night?
02:21Oh, again, you know, like we know they're a good side.
02:24They're up, you know, in the top four or five.
02:26They've been all year, you know, so they've got a real good set of halves there
02:30to do some real good organising for them.
02:32And, you know, a couple of really good wingers that know how to score tries,
02:37obviously, and a couple of big guys in the middle.
02:40So, yeah, again, their team, you know, what they've done this year
02:45has got them up into that position.
02:47And, like I say, you know, we know that it's going to be a tough ask on Friday night,
02:54but hopefully we'll do our best and see what happens.
